How Do You Measure a Year?: The Official Voice of Perioperative Nursing

ABSTRACT

"1 As President of this wonderful association, there are so many ways that I can measure the past year. * In days 333 serving as President. * In "President's Messages" 12 deadlines that had to be met (but more often were not). * In conference calls with the Board;the Executive Committee;and various other committees, task forces, and groups. After the Reset, we held a combined orientation for the Board of Directors and Nominating Committee members. The COVID-19 pandemic has left its mark on the world, and our association has not been unscathed by it. Because the Headquarters team was nimble, resourceful, and acting in the best interest of the Association and you, our members, we emerged from the last two years financially strong, even after transitioning both the 2020 and 2021 AORN Global Surgical Conference & Expos into virtual events. Along with Lynn, my executive director, Becky Ruban, MSN, RN, SHRM-SCP, and Evelyn Rosenthal, AVP Leader and Employee Development Experience, have provided me with autonomy to do both my work and serve AORN during my tenure on the Board.
